Definitions

  • This invention relates to a silicone coating composition and a coated article. More particularly, it relates to a silicone coating composition which is coated onto an organic resin substrate and heat cured to form a film having mar resistance, visible light transparency, UV-shielding property, and long-term weatherability, and a coated substrate having a cured film of the composition.
  • substrates of organic resins or plastics are surface coated with various coating compositions to form surface protective films for the purpose of imparting high hardness and mar resistance.
  • compositions comprising hydrolyzates or partial hydrolyzates of hydrolyzable organosilanes and optionally, colloidal silica are known.
  • JP-A S51-2736 , JP-A S53-130732 and JP-A S63-168470 disclose coating compositions comprising an organoalkoxysilane or hydrolyzate and/or partial hydrolytic condensate thereof, and colloidal silica, wherein the alkoxy group is converted into silanol in the presence of excess water.
  • These coating compositions form coatings which have a high hardness, good weatherability, and an ability to protect the underlying substrates, but lack toughness.
  • coatings of at least 10 ⁇ m thick tend to develop cracks in such durations as heat curing, removal from the heat curing furnace, outdoor service, and abrupt temperature changes.
  • the hydrolyzate/condensate of alkoxysilane is composed mainly of relatively low molecular weight compounds, silanol contained in these low molecular weight compounds has a very high reactivity, and the content of silanol is very high. Then condensation reaction of silanol gradually occurs even at room temperature, and the low molecular weight compounds build up their molecular weight with the lapse of time. Then coatings of aged compositions have a low hardness. Sometimes the compositions gel and become unusable as the coating agent.
  • JP-A 2005-314616 proposes to use a certain basic compound as the curing catalyst to formulate a composition which has shelf stability in the liquid form and exhibits crack resistance, hardness and mar resistance in the cured film state.
  • the coating layers lack an ability to cut UV, allowing a phenomenon to develop that a resin substrate, a primer layer for imparting substrate adhesion or an interface therebetween can be degraded or discolored by UV exposure.
  • Several techniques are proposed to prevent such a phenomenon, including addition of UV absorber to the primer layer, and incorporation via chemical bonds of UV absorptive organic substituent groups into the organic resin of which the primer layer is formed.
  • the UV absorptive organic substituent groups and UV absorbers refer to benzophenone, benzotriazole, triazine and similar substituent groups, and organic compounds containing the same. See JP-A H04-106161 , JP 3102696 , JP-A 2001-47574 , and JP 3841141 .
  • the above technique for cutting off UV is by incorporating an organic UV absorber into a primer layer. Since the primer layer in itself has the main purpose of improving the adhesion between the underlying substrate and a silicone layer, an extra amount of UV absorber loaded therein gives rise to problems such as losses of adhesion and transparency. It is demonstrated in a long-term outdoor exposure test and accelerated weathering test that the UV cut by the primer layer alone is insufficient for preventing degradation and discoloration of organic resin substrates.
  • these coating layers become substantially poor in mar resistance that is essentially desired, or develop noticeable microcracks due to a lowering of flexibility.
  • the organic UV absorbers have the essential drawback that the hardness of silicone film becomes lower as the amount of UV absorber added is increased to enhance weather resistance.
  • metal oxide nanoparticles having UV shielding property are added to coating compositions so that the compositions may maintain hardness and mar resistance.
  • Known examples are titanium oxide nanoparticles of anatase type ( JP-A 2004-238418 ) and titanium oxide nanoparticles of rutile type ( JP 2783417 , JP-A H11-310755 , JP-A 2000-204301 ). These coating compositions form UV-shielding coatings which maintain visible light transmitting and mar resistant properties.
  • titanium oxide nanoparticles have a photocatalytic activity which cannot be fully suppressed even when they are surface coated with silicon compounds. Additionally, the coatings have insufficient weather resistance in that cracks develop in a relatively early stage in a long-term accelerated weathering test.
  • zinc oxide nanoparticles as the metal oxide nanoparticles having UV shielding property (see JP-A H11-209695 , JP 3347097 , and JP-A 2002-60687 ).
  • the zinc oxide nanoparticles have somewhat poorer UV shielding property than the titanium oxide nanoparticles and accordingly lower photocatalytic activity.
  • a coating loaded with zinc oxide nanoparticles can not avoid a phenomenon that the coating develops cracks or peels in a weathering test.
  • JP 3509749 and JP-A 2002-87817 disclose an attempt to suppress photocatalytic activity by coating surfaces of zinc oxide nanoparticles with another oxide.
  • a coating loaded with surface-coated zinc oxide nanoparticles has a longer lifetime in a weathering test than bare zinc oxide nanoparticles.
  • the coating is still insufficient as outdoor UV shielding members partly because cracks develop in a long-term weathering test.
  • visible light transparency is one of important properties of coating compositions for forming weather resistant surface protective coatings. If metal oxide nanoparticles are used as the UV shielding agent, visible light transparency is substantially impaired depending on an average particle size and a tendency to agglomerate.
  • JP-A H11-278838 discloses that when zinc oxide nanoparticles are prepared by a specific method, a dispersion thereof has a smaller particle size and is unsusceptible to agglomeration.
  • a coating composition having this zinc oxide nanoparticle dispersion compounded therein would be highly transparent to visible light although this is not described in Examples.

  • the inventors have found that when a dispersion of composite zinc oxide nanoparticles obtained by coating zinc oxide nanoparticles with a specific coating so as to suppress photocatalytic activity to a substantial extent is compounded in the coating composition, the cured film exhibits very high mar resistance and UV shielding property, maintains visible light transparency, and offers weather resistance and crack resistance against prolonged outdoor exposure which could not be achieved in the prior art.

  • the coating composition is preferably weather resistant such that provided that the silicone coating composition is coated on the surface of a vinyl copolymer layer on an organic resin substrate and cured to form a film, the film does not develop cracks in a weathering test using a Super-UV tester over 500 hours.
  • the invention provides a coated article comprising a substrate and a cured film of the UV-shielding silicone coating composition disposed on at least one surface of the substrate directly or via at least one layer.

  • the resulting composite zinc oxide nanoparticles are then dispersed in a dispersing medium to yield a composite zinc oxide nanoparticle dispersion.
  • the (surface-coated) composite zinc oxide nanoparticles are characterized by a fully low photocatalytic activity.
  • zinc oxide nanoparticles have a UV shielding function and a photocatalyst function at the same time. If such zinc oxide nanoparticles are used as a UV shielding agent in a hard coat composition, their photocatalyst function can degrade the binder so that the hard coat may develop cracks.

  • Zinc oxide nanoparticles may be prepared by several plasma methods including DC arc plasma, plasma jet, and high-frequency plasma.
  • the DC arc plasma method is most preferred because of a propensity to form composite zinc oxide nanoparticles having a low photocatalytic activity and high productivity.
  • the zinc oxide nanoparticles prepared by the DC arc plasma method have very strong adsorptivity probably because of good surface crystallinity so that they strongly adsorb amino, imino, quaternary ammonium base or other functional groups in the dispersant, the particles are uniformly dispersed and they do not adsorb each other.
  • a coating composition having compounded therein the zinc oxide nanoparticles prepared by the DC arc plasma method may form a coating which is highly transparent and free of turbidity.
  • the DC arc plasma method which is preferably used in preparing zinc oxide nanoparticles involves the steps of providing a consumable anode made of a zinc source such as metallic zinc, producing a plasma flame of argon gas from a cathode, heating the zinc source for evaporation, and oxidizing the zinc vapor, followed by cooling.
